Conversation Partners

The Language and Literacy Center's Conversation Partners program matches MCC students who are English language learners with members of the MCC community (students, staff and faculty) for one-on-one, informal conversation in English. Partners meet for about 30 minutes once a week for one quarter.

The Conversation Partners program:

Promotes and encourages cross-cultural awareness and understanding

Provides English learners with a personal connection on campus

Gives English learners an opportunity to build their confidence in speaking

If your primary language is English and you would like to be partnered with a student who is developing English language skills, fill out this form. If you are an English learner who would like to practice English language conversational skills with a fluent English speaker, fill out this form.

We will contact you by email when you are matched with a partner and provide you with guidelines and ideas for your conversations.
